Sallie FergusonTue, 17 Apr 2012 00:35:06 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=18522#comment-352584I’m a huge Brene Brown fan. I’m currently reading her book titled, “I thought it was just me. (But it isn’t)” and I highly recommend it.

Hope you enjoyed your fabulous trip, you globetrotter! Hope you ate pistachio gelato! I swear I think I ate my way through Europe. :)

Safe travels, Gabrielle.

JimmyFri, 13 Apr 2012 17:52:50 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=18522#comment-352435The gist of her TED talk really caught me at a good time. I was going through something of a friend break-up (which sounds silly, but it happened I guess) and it really spoke to the reasons why I couldn’t have this particular person in my life anymore. Real connections require a willingness to be vulnerable to others – that is, showing them who you are, rather than who you think *they* think you should be. Shame, then, is the end result of an inability to do that; we feel bad because we are not who we think others want or expect us to be.

That friend of mine really stunk at allowing vulnerability – not just in herself, but she would even reject it from those around her. It made her terribly uncomfortable.

Your good friends need to know you, warts and all, and vice versa. Brene did such a good job of putting words to that realization I was going through. I highly recommend it to anyone.

LuciaFri, 13 Apr 2012 13:51:56 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=18522#comment-352429Thanks! she is going to many points that are prohibited in many environments, like in the corporate world for example. You can´t be vulnerable in those environments, you have to be a “man” (a man like the one its defined in her second talk). It´s great to see someone is studying those topics. I´m vulnerable and I have been set aside for being vulnerable at work, so this is like a balsam to my ears. Thanks you sharing this talk.
